Drunken Li Tan unknowingly walked to the mountain stream. Murong Linzhi, who had returned from gathering herbs, came to the stream to wash her hands. Li Tan looked at the familiar figure and blurted out, calling Murong Linzhi's name. Murong Linzhi looked up, staring at Li Tan with a blank expression, addressing him as "young master". Li Tan didn't understand why Murong Linzhi would act this way.
In a panic, he took Murong Linzhi's hand and told her he was wrong before. But Murong Linzhi was very flustered and frankly stated that it was their first meeting and asked him to respect himself. Gongsun E, who had come out with Murong Linzhi, walked over and asked Murong Linzhi to wait for him in the carriage. Li Tan pressed Gongsun E about what was wrong with Murong Linzhi.
Gongsun E told him the truth, lamenting that life is fleeting like a reflection in a mirror or a cloud passing by, and advised Li Tan to forget Murong Linzhi and part ways in the future. At the East Palace, everyone rushed to congratulate the Crown Prince. Li Chu saw how adorable the little prince was and, fearing that Shen Zhenzhu would feel emotional, comforted her, saying they would have their own children in the future.
Cui Caiping overheard these words. She stormed off to the side in a fit of rage. As the Crown Prince asked everyone to sit, Li Tan, dishevelled and reeking of alcohol, walked in. The Crown Prince was furious at the sight. Princess Zhang asked a servant to take Li Tan to the side chamber to change clothes. In fact, Princess Zhang had already made plans. She intended to marry her cousin Dou Ruzhi's daughter, Dou Lian'er, to Li Tan.
On the day of the wedding, Princess Zhang knew everyone would come to offer congratulations, so she deliberately had Dou Lian'er wait early in the side chamber. When Dou Lian'er saw Li Tan walk in, she hastily introduced herself and stated that she would soon be Li Tan's princess. Only then did Li Tan learn of his father's plan.
The already unruly Li Tan came to the main hall, publicly humiliated Dou Lian'er, and emphatically declared that he would never agree to this marriage. Yang Guozhong learned of this matter and decided to start with Li Tan, using him to bring down Li Tan and the East Palace. Li Tan, wishing to escape worldly affairs through drink, walked through the city carrying a wine bottle and a sword. He happened to encounter Minister Feng at his door welcoming guests.
Minister Feng called out to Li Tan and pulled him into the residence. The arrogant and insolent Dou Ruzhi also followed closely behind, arriving at Minister Feng's residence. Dou Ruzhi and Li Tan's disagreement escalated into an argument. Dou Ruzhi spoke disrespectfully and insulted Murong Linzhi. Li Tan was furious, pointed his sword at Dou Ruzhi, and demanded that he kneel and apologize. The presumptuous Dou Ruzhi also drew his sword and fought fiercely with Li Tan.
Li Tan disdained fighting with someone like Dou Ruzhi; he only wanted him to apologize and had no intention of harming him. But in the chaos, someone pushed Li Tan from behind, and Li Tan's sword directly pierced Dou Ruzhi's chest. In the grand hall, Chancellor Wei, who had intricate connections with Yang Guozhong, exaggerated the situation and demanded that the Emperor handle Li Tan's case impartially to stabilize the court and calm the people.
The Crown Prince pleaded on the side, but Li Tan was unwilling to defend himself even a word. Li Chu received the news and rushed into the palace, only to learn that Li Tan had already been imprisoned by the Emperor in Dali Temple. Li Chu went to Dali Temple to visit Li Tan. He firmly believed that his brother was not a murderer and disdained killing a contemptible person like Dou Ruzhi.
However, Li Tan was disheartened; he insisted that he deserved this fate now, as it was his just punishment for abandoning Murong Linzhi that day. Seeing that Li Tan was unwilling to explain further, Li Chu comforted him and, after leaving, continuously worked tirelessly for Li Tan's case. Li Chu knew that the Dou family was constantly pressuring the court and maliciously slandering Li Tan. He decided to fight fire with fire. He ordered an investigation into Dou Ruzhi.
Subsequently, he brought evidence of Dou Ruzhi conspiring to acquire wealth and take lives to the Dou family. Lady Dou was greatly alarmed upon seeing the evidence. Li Chu warned Lady Dou not to play any more tricks in court. At Dali Temple, Shen Zhenzhu met Li Tan. She persuaded Li Tan to pull himself together for Murong Linzhi and Li Chu. A single word woke him from his stupor. Li Tan had an epiphany. He decided to keep his life and live well for those he loved.
